Got all of the books from the last 5 posts of Jeanette, Brandy, and Melody. Jeanette: a super user is required based on the number of shelves a book is on, not the number of reviews. The site is a little inconsistent in how it sometimes reports these numbers, but the book you refer to only had 7 reviews but was on 10 or more shelves (unreviewed for the rest).On an unrelated note, as long as I have you all here, I should mention that tomorrow I'll be heading on a ~2 week trip to Spain, and while I may occasionally sneak a peek at GoodReads if the opportunity should present itself, I do not think it likely that I shall attend to any Librarian duties while traveling :-)
Just wanted to let everyone know what was going on in the unlikely event someone wondered why they hadn't heard from me in awhile.
Michael, Have a wonderful trip to Spain! You're so helpful here and so you would have been missed; well, you will be missed, but we won't be confused. ;-) Thanks for the heads-up.
This edition of The World is flat needs to be deleted so that it combines with This copyI separated the 2nd listing and TRIED to separate the first one so that I could then group the two of them together and they would combine automatically when the first one is deleted. But for some crazy reason I could not get the first one to separate! It would say it was separated - then it would appear right back with the other editions. So maybe someone else will be successful.
And Michael! Have a great trip to Spain!
This copy of The Pact should be deleted so it combines with This copydelete this Pact
Delete This copy and it will combine with This copy. Then put it back with The dubliners.
One of these Dubliners or
Dubliners should be deleted so they combine (they have the same ISBN numbers - not sure how that could happen either). I seperated the first one - but could not get the second one to seperate.

Melody, Got the last bunch (somebody has already done one somehow.) But, both copies of The World is Flat are actually still combined and it won't let me separate either one of them.Rivka? Somebody?
Never mind. 3rd time was Charm. Got those/TWIF.
This Team of Rivals can be taken out, and then the edition into which it'll merge can be combined back in with the rest.
This Edie can go; it'll merge with one that can be recombined with the other Edies. (This book was published with a variety of subtitles, but it's all the same book. The other edition without an ISBN was printed with a duplicate ISBN, so it's valid and should stay.)
That one did NOT want to separate out so I could combine it with its duplicate. Fortunately, Michael's trick worked. Got the sucker!
What is Michael's trick?Please delete: East of Eden
This copy of East of Eden should be deleted. It will combine with this copy which should then be put back with the other editions.
Please delete this The grapes of wrath
and this Tortilla Flat
He has many, I'm sure. ;D I mean the delete-the-duplicate-ISBN-number-from-the-recalcitrant-non-behaving-book-record (so you can merge it and delete it) trick. ;)
Even though this has an ISBN I suspect it is actually This Brief Life of Oscar Wao. If super users agree - then please delete so it will combine with the correct edition.

Hi.http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33...
I changed the author's name; it was originally listed at Patton. The links only lead to searches for the same title, as well.
A few more:http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33...

Thank you!!
Here's a couple duplicates without ISBNs. They're already combined with the two correct editions:http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32...

Thanks!
Ashley, I don't see the other one with the same exact ISBN 13; I saw one/a few with similar ones/maybe one or more are incorrect ISBNs? Ashley? Rivka? Anybody? For now, I left it alone.
And you won't. That was not a legitimate ISBN (probably because GR objected that the real one already existed). Deleted, as is the EP one.
Thanks Rivka! I'm not particularly good at spotting these and didn't have the patience to look it up more carefully.

Not sure why I can't delete this one. It says a super user has to do it but there are only 7 reviews.
